In the second of a three-game Conference USA baseball series at Murfreesboro, Tenn., the Roadrunners (30-18, 14-9) had a pretty easy time of it in beating the Blue Raiders (23-24, 11-12) for the second straight day.

UTSA’s offense came alive with a 15-hit attack, including seven in the third inning when the Roadrunners sent 11 men to the plate.

Horacio Correa III and Jesse Baker led the attack with three hits apiece.

It’s a good sign for the Roadrunners, who had been slumping offensively in recent weeks. UTSA had lost six of eight coming into the series in Tennessee.

Nolan Trabanino had yielded three runs and Jeremy Filipek one as Middle Tennessee cut the lead to 8-4. But Cox entered in the fifth inning and went the distance, giving up only three hits the rest of the way.

After completing the Middle Tennessee series on Sunday, an important week looms for the Roadrunners, who are scheduled to host the Rice Owls next weekend.

Softball: The Roadrunners will close the regular season Sunday against the University of Alabama-Birmingham Blazers in the C-USA regular-season finale for both teams.

Following the game, UTSA will honor Darian Blake, Jori Fox, Jolene Graham and Siera Sproul as part of Senior Day festivities.

UTSA and UAB split a doubleheader on Saturday, with the Roadrunners winning 6-3 in eight innings in the opener. The Blazers won 6-1 in the second game.

In the opener, UTSA shortstop Courtney Buchman hit a three-run homer with one out in the bottom of the eighth to win it. UTSA opened a 3-0 lead early, then watched as UAB tied it with single runs in the fourth, fifth and seventh.

The game went into extra innings when the Roadrunners left a runner stranded in the bottom of the seventh. Buchman ended it in the eighth with only her third home run of the year.

In the second game, Lannah Campbell held UTSA to a run on three hits as UAB (30-24, 14-8) avoided the sweep.

UTSA (24-29, 10-13) is fighting for a spot in the C-USA tournament, which will be played next week at Boca Raton, Fla.

Roadrunners first baseman Megan Low, who entered the week as the home run leader in NCAA Division I, is out for the season with a knee injury.

Low, with 22 home runs this year, suffered the injury on Monday. She has missed the last three games.
